1807546 - Hide private tabs after a certain amount of time

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1807553

(Firefox for Android :: Privacy, enhancement)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/7576.

Why/User Benefit/User Problem

I'd like my private tabs to be hidden if I've forgotten they even exist! (Sometime after ~30minutes? Just enough that we think the user has context switched to something else)

Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)

• I can toggle this preference on in settings ("hide private tabs after X minutes")
• When enabled, Fenix opens to a "normal" session instead of a private one when I resume it (we should set lastKnownMode = normal after X minutes... we already have a persistent notification so this shouldn't be too complex 🤔 )

We could also consider a "close private tabs after X minutes" or "on close"

Flagging @liuche, @AmyYLee on this so they can add additional thoughts :)

We are adding the option to lock private tabs as a part of this meta, so closing this ticket.
